Wildfires spread across Scotland, England, impacting wildlife

Wildfires are raging across multiple regions in the UK, with significant fires reported in Galloway, Scotland, and Gentleshaw Common in Staffordshire. In Galloway, firefighters have been battling a large blaze since Friday night, using helicopters to assist in extinguishing the flames, while authorities urge the public to avoid the area. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has issued an 'extreme' wildfire warning due to dry conditions and abundant dry vegetation. Similarly, in Staffordshire, a wildfire has destroyed large areas of land, prompting concerns for local wildlife, particularly during nesting season. Witnesses have described the rapid spread of fires in various locations, with dry weather exacerbating the situation. Foresters and local authorities are increasingly worried about the impact of these wildfires on biodiversity and air quality.
